Question

why you think O'Brien keeps stepping out of the "story" to remind us things are or are not true - why this meta element?

Answer 1

Explanation:

As one more cubanito in the city, O'Brien played ball in the county parks, then attended Braddock Pre-University and, after a period at Bethune-Cookman University, returned to play at the University of Miami.

After several goals with the Major League Amateur Draft, O'Brien signed with the New York Yankees in 2012, where he would begin a pilgrimage to several Minor clubs - with two brief stays in Major Leagues - belonging to Arizona, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Texas, Los Angeles and Miami, as if it were your destination to always return.

And now O'Brien, 25, dreams of playing for the Marlins. The truth is that in less than a month its impact is palpable, and its history subjugated. Who knows what can happen if he keeps stacking home runs.
